Trouble Over the Recent Shooting by
Germans Averted.
ssTrouble is aYerted.' So say the dis
patches on French affairs, meaning that
the German government admits the wrong
done by its frontier guard in firing on the
French hunters and agrees to pay an in
demnity to the families of the killed and
wounded. There was but one killed and
one wounded, but the circumstances were
sopeculiar that we present them somewhat
in detail, with map of the locality. A
glance at this map shows the place of
the shooting very clearly. The accepted
version now is that the seven Frenehmen
were quietly walking along the pathway
on their side of the line and that they
were fired upon by the German advance
riaeman from his station in the fir forest
on the other side of the line. The proof
Is complete.
Monsieur LIE Begue, local officer of

satan gentleman, and Brignon, an oper-
ator of the foundries at neighboring
town. With them were two ''trackers.''
or hunters assistants. AS they were
walking in single file, as shown in the
map, towards the lodge where they were
to breakfast, they had to cross an open
glade, bordered by a dense and scrubby
fir forest on the German side. In this
glade they were suddenly alarmed by two
shots and the whistling of bullets. In

KING MALIEToA AND HIS ORATOR.
by dccomposed lava and iron, and all the
interior of the large islands is densely
clad with tropical forests of very valuable
timber. There is abundant rain the year
round, and all tropical products grow
well. The principal crops gathered by the
natives are cocoanuts and bread fruit, and
these make the main export; but there are
all the requirements for u large growth
and export of sugar, coffee, lemons,
oranges, tobacco and sea island cotton.
The native Samoans are universally pro-
nounced the best people of the South Pa
cific. They are c1eanly, kind, peaceful
and nominally Christians; but, as might
be expected from their habitat. they are
not Industrious, nor are they easily pro-
voked to war. The government is a mild
and paternal monarchy, and the family Of
Malietoa has furnished the king for so
many generations that only a tradition
exists of any other condition, that tradi-
tion being that the first Malietoa drove
out a hostile race many centuries ago
Such is Samoa; and Malietoa reigned in
peace till the Hamburg firm gained COM
mercial control of Apia. Malietoa had
organized very liberal government ON
the British model, and foreigners had the
same rights Us III DfltlSH ports, DOtli EnS-a

did not prevent further action. In 1884
King Malietoe was induced to sign treaty

First and Second Pictures.

There is still a good deal of discussion in
artistic circles Of the recent quarrel between
an artist and his patron because the artist
painted a second picture just like the one the
patron had just bought. and sold it to some
one else. The question which to some extent
has been discussed in the weekly and monthly
periodicals is whether the patron has any
real ground of grievance. The artistic jour-
mails have generally admitted that he had, al
though of course he cannot claim legal re-
dress unless the picture has been copyrighted
and he has bought the copyright. But it
was said that people buy pictures always
with the understanding that they are origin
als, unless expressly told otherwise, and that
If this was not so they might have the right
to feel swindled But the question Of origi-
nality in this case is merely a question of
priority, and what people are mad about is
not that their picture may have been painted
after the conception has been already once
embodied, but because there are ANY embodi-
ments in the world than theirs.
Mr.. VIII Fl. Low, the illustrator of the edi-
ton of Keats aLamia," now SO famous, made
q good point in speaking the other day of the
discussion when he said: aThe ambition to
own thing because no one else can duplicate
it is essentially vulgar, and when exercised in
the domain OF art Extensively so. always
despise limited editions of books and the plan
of breaking plates of engravings and etch-
ings after q small number of impressions
have been taken. If the impressions are linn
tied to tile capacity of the plates ITO print

of making work of art valuable as a curios-

Polished Conversation.

There is no society without Interchange of
thought, and since the best society is that in
which the best thoughts are interchanged in
the best and most comprehensive manner, it
follows that a proper mode of expressing our
selves is Indispensable in good society.
The comnonest thought well put is more
useful in q social point of view than the most
brilliant idea jumbled out What is well ex-
pressed is easily seized and therefore easily
responded to; the most poetic fancy may be-
lost if the language is obscure. He has but
a poor appreciation Of his privilege as hui
man being who neglects to cultivate the great
gift of speech.
"If you speak the sense of an angel in bad
